The best rising action in the story of Cupid and Psyche is when Psyche disobeys Cupid's warning not to look at him while he sleeps, leading to his departure and leaving Psyche alone and heartbroken. This event sets off a chain of trials and tribulations for Psyche as she tries to win back Cupid's love and ultimately prove her worthiness to the gods.

Cupid likely said "I beelieve there's love to be found wherever you look, even underground where honey may be sweetly stashed away."

yes. cupid is a minor god even though the power of love is a special ability. the reason for this is because cupid was not/is not one of the powerful 12 gods who have thrones on mount olympus.

She is typically portrayed as a beautiful mortal princess who becomes the wife of Eros (Cupid) in several mythical tales, including the Roman novel "The Golden Ass" by Apuleius. The story of Psyche and Eros symbolizes the union of the soul and love.

In the beginning of "The Cupid Chronicle," the main character, Rosie, struggles with low self-esteem and is dealing with her parents' recent divorce. She discovers a mysterious love advice column in her school newspaper and decides to take on the role of the anonymous columnist, hoping to help others while boosting her own confidence.

The most famous adventures of Cupid and Psyche are when Psyche is visited by Cupid at night, falls in love with him, and then later is put through various trials by Cupid's mother, Venus, in order to prove her love.

Psyche was a very beautiful girl. She caught the eye of Cupid. He took her to live with him. Psyche was very happy with Cupid and she loved him. One day, Cupid let Psyche's sisters visit their home. The sisters made Psyche doubt Cupid and believe he was a monster. Psyche sneaked a look at Cupid while he was sleeping one night, but she got caught when candle wax dripped on him and he woke up. He made her leave him, scolding her for not believing in him and loving him no matter what he looked like.

There are a few different endings though. Some say Psyche ran away, and Aphrodite/Venus (Cupid's Mom) took pity on her and turned her into an owl or something. There's also an ending where Cupid and Psyche got back together and basically lived happily ever after.

You can read the story "Cupid and Psyche" in the Latin novel "Metamorphoses" also known as "The Golden Ass," written by Apuleius. It is a tale within this larger work, often found in collections of mythology or classical literature. Additionally, various adaptations and retellings of the story exist in different forms of media.

Psyche. Aphrodite was jealous of Psyche's beauty, and had Eros make her fall in love with a monster with his arrows, but when Eros reached in to get a closer look at Psyche, he pierced himself with one of his arrows. They had a child, Hedone.

Some famous stories of angels include the Archangel Gabriel's announcement to Mary about the birth of Jesus in the Bible, the Angel Gabriel delivering revelations to the Prophet Muhammad in Islamic tradition, and the story of the Angel Jibreel (Gabriel) helping the prophet Daniel interpret his visions in the Old Testament.

Eros is often represented as a young, handsome winged god armed with a bow and arrows. This is because he is the god of love and desire, capable of making individuals fall in love or desire each other. The wings symbolize his quick and unpredictable nature in igniting passion and the bow and arrows represent his ability to strike unsuspecting targets with love.

Cupid and Aphrodite are both associated with love and desire in Greek mythology. Cupid is the Roman god of desire, affection, and erotic love, while Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love, beauty, and sexuality. Both figures are often depicted as matchmaking entities who bring people together through love and desire.

Cupid and Psyche Aphrodite was born from the foam near the island of Cyprus, for which reason she is referred to as the Cyprian. Aphrodite was a jealous goddess, but she was also loving. Not only did she love the men and gods in her life, but her sons and grandchildren, as well. Sometimes her possessive instincts led her too far. When her son Cupid found a human to love -- one whose beauty rivaled the Cyprian's -- Aphrodite did all in her power to thwart the marriage*. Unfortunately for the young couple, Aphrodite was not the only one trying to foul things up, for Psyche, which was the young woman's name, had two sisters as jealous as the goddess. When the sisters learned about the luscious, extravagant lifestyle of their lucky, beautiful sister, they urged Psyche to pry into the area of his life that Psyche's husband kept hidden from her. Cupid was a god, and gorgeous, but for reasons known best to him, he didn't want his mortal wife to see his form. Psyche's sister didn't know he was a god, although they may have suspected it. However, they did know that Psyche's life was much happier than theirs. Knowing their sister well, they preyed on her insecurities and persuaded Psyche that her husband was a hideous monster. Psyche assured her sisters they were wrong, but since she'd never seen him, even she started having doubts. Psyche decided to satisfy the girls' curiosity, so that night she took a candle to her sleeping husband in order to look at him. Her husband's angelic form was exquisite, so Psyche stood there gawking. While Psyche dawdled ogling, she dropped a bit of wax. Her rudely awakened, irate, disobeyed husband-angel-god flew away. "See, I told you she was a no good human," said mother Aphrodite to Cupid. "Now you'll have to be content among the gods." Cupid might have gone along with the de facto divorce, but Psyche couldn't. Impelled by love of her gorgeous husband, she implored her mother-in-law to give her another chance. Aphrodite agreed ungraciously, saying, "I cannot conceive that any serving-wench as hideous as yourself could find any means to attract lovers save by making herself their drudge; wherefore now I myself will make trial of your worth." But Aphrodite had no intention of playing fair. She devised 4 tasks (not 3, this is a feminine story), each one more exacting than the last. Psyche passed the first 3 challenges with flying colors, # sort a huge mount of barley, millet, poppy seeds, lentils, and beans. # gather a hank of the wool of the shining golden sheep. # fill a crystal vessel with the water of the spring that feeds the Styx and Cocytus. But the last one was too much for her: 4. Aphrodite asked Psyche to bring her back a box of Persephone's beauty cream. Going to the Underworld was a challenge for the bravest of ancient mortals, the Greek heroes. Hercules could go to the Underworld without much bother, but even Theseus had trouble and had to be rescued by Hercules. Psyche barely batted an eye when Aphrodite told her she would have to go to the most dangerous region known to mortals. What was too much for Psyche was the temptation to make herself more beautiful. If the perfect beauty of the perfect goddess Aphrodite needed this cream, Psyche reasoned, how much more would it help an imperfect human? Thus, Psyche retrieved the box successfully, but then she opened the box and fell into a deathlike sleep, as Aphrodite had secretly predicted. At this point, divine intervention was called for if the story was to have an ending that made anyone really happy. With Zeus' connivance, Cupid brought his wife to Olympus. There Aphrodite reluctantly reconciled with her pregnant daughter-in-law, who was about to give birth to a grandchild Aphrodite could dote on, Pleasure.

Mercutio is referring to Cupid, the Roman god of love, when he mentions the "blind bow boy" in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." This nickname suggests Cupid's playful and sometimes mischievous nature in causing love to be blind and unpredictable.

In Greece he was known as Eros, in Rome as Amor.
